Hi Everyone - I tried asking this on Discord, but I think it got a bit lost - 
and perhaps for more philosophical questions, here is better.

So - I’m wondering what is the recommended way to work with another project you 
want to contribute to (in my case CodeParasides). So I know I can fork it and 
put the fork in my baseline.  But I’m assuming contributions are best done 
discretely on a branch per proposal (this seems to be the Pharo way - and it 
makes sense for ease of understanding), but if you have a few of these 
contributions in play (while the maintainer is evaluating them) would you then 
have your own “combination” branch to consolidate all those fixes until they 
get merged in?

I’ve started to try this,  but merging between branches gets a bit tricky - a 
few times now it seems that Iceberg shows me misleading info on what is being 
added/removed (it always looks like my changes are going to be removed, when if 
fact they get added - so its a bit of a leap of faith on this).

So I’m wondering if I’m overcomplicating things - or whether this is the 
suggested way to work with another project?

Tim
